I am a middle aged white man of privilege and I am wary of not being a part of some microaggression against people of color, that may be an attempt to be supportive but ends up being insulting. Do you have any advice for me?
Roxane Gay
Not really. Common sense goes a long way and honestly, that this is even something you care about lets me know that you are a man of good intentions. That counts for a whole lot.

So in your book, you talked about season one of Orange is the New Black, and I'm curious how did you feel about season two? Personally, I'm irritadated by what Seems like inherent racism, but I didn't notice others reacting the same way. (Also, Piper is the worst..) Anyhow, what'd you think?

I hunger for Hunger but was thrilled to hear about Difficult Women. You seem able to skillfully toggle between fiction and nonfiction. Short story and essay. When you sit down to write do you know which it is you will be writing before you get words on the page? How do you approach them differently?
